In the case of a parent who has absented themself from their children's
lives for any extended period of time, a shorter amount of time together,
like a one day 'daytrip' or visit, would be far more reasonable then an
extended amount of time, like a week-long visit.

There's your example.

So...the solution to lack of parenting time is to reduce the parenting
time?

As an example (and Teachermom, I apologize for dragging you into this) -
Teach has posted about how her husband was notified that he had a 13 year
old child. Child doesn't know dad, doesn't have any relationship with dad.
Dad doesn't know child, doesn't have any relationship with child.

Do you think it's reasonable to simply have child come live with dad for a
week or longer, or is it more reasonable to have a shorter amount of time,
like a one day visit?
